Washington (CNN) The first Capitol rioter to be sentenced for crimes committed on January 6 downplayed the deadly attack Thursday, days after she apologized to a federal judge for her actions during the riot. Anna Morgan-Lloyd, who spent 10 minutes inside the Capitol on January 6 and pleaded guilty to a single misdemeanor for trespassing inside the Capitol as part of the crowd that day, claimed in an interview with Fox News that the rioters were polite as they attacked the Capitol. "Where I was at, we seen nobody damage anything and people were actually very polite," she said. "If anybody bumped into anybody it was, 'Excuse me,' and people were very polite and nobody was breaking anything." "It was calm enough that people were actually walking out of the Capitol building that worked there, walked right past us and they had no fear on their face at all."
